While regular soldiers wore what looks like a scarf that was tucked into their suit of armor, officers wore elaborately tied neckcloths.

Original Run: 1977-82#N#Creator: James L. Brooks , Allan Burns, Gene Reynolds#N#Stars: Ed Asner, Robert Walden, Linda Kelsey, Mason Adams, Jack Bannon#N#Network: CBS#N#The Mary Tyler Moore Show not only helped usher in a more sophisticated brand of sitcom, it was also responsible for spawning a serious drama about journalism that racked up Emmys, Golden Globes and a Peabody Award. Lou Grant, Mary’s hard-nosed boss in the sitcom, leaves the world of TV to become city editor of The Los Angeles Tribune. The show dealt with the issues of its day, along with the ethical questions and struggles faced by journalists and those whom they were writing about. Not bad for a spinoff a sitcom.— Josh Jackson
The ritual for millions of children in the 1980s was to wake up, turn on the TV and hear “Sunny Day/Sweepin’ the clouds away…” before getting ready for school. This was back before anybody but Big Bird could see Snuffleupagus, mind you. The residents of Sesame Street never skimped on entertainment in the name of education or education in the name of entertainment. With characters like Oscar the Grouch, Burt, Ernie, Count Von Count and—my favorites—the Yip Yips, we never minded that we were actually learning something along the way.— Josh Jackson
But John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt remained until the series ended in 1984, three years after Suzanne Somers was replaced by Jenilee Harrison.
Original Run: 1986-90#N#Creators: Paul Fusco, Tom Patchett#N#Stars: Paul Fusco, Max Wright, Anne Schedeen, Andrea Elson, Benji Gregory#N#Network: NBC#N#Somehow, like Full House, this series also featured a family named “The Tanners,” but that’s where the comparisons end. A bizarre show in retrospect that featured a puppet as the titular character, ALF was about an alien named “Gordon Shumway” who crash-lands in the backyard of a suburban family and then proceeds to work his way into their hearts while waiting for his cohorts to stop by and pick him up, occasionally attempting to catch and eat the family cat along the way. Most episodes play out as a cross between Perfect Strangers and Growing Pains, as ALF learns about various human customs and the family attempts to shield him from the public and the government officials hunting for him. It all builds to one of the most insane TV finales of all time, as Gordon is captured by the government and brought to a lab, with the implication that he will be dissected alive in the name of science. Seriously, that’s how ALF ended. It was meant to be a cliffhanger ending, but because a fifth season of ALF was never produced, one of the weirdest sitcoms of the decade ended in one of the weirdest ways.— Jim Vorel

Moye, Ron Leavitt#N#Stars: Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate, David Faustino, Amanda Bearse, david Garrison, Ted McGinley#N#Network: Fox#N#The show that Fox built its empire on, Married…with Children may seem fairly tame by today’s standards. At the time, however, the show represented a fierce subversion of the traditional family sitcom, using Al and Peggy Bundy’s blatant ineptitude as parents for comedy fodder. It was crass, controversial and often very funny. Although the series inevitably begin to show major cracks after 11 years, the comedy stylings of its cast were always good for at least a chuckle. It was a show with a certain charm, even if it avoided sentimentality like the plague.— Mark Rozeman

Del Boy Trotter has the ambition to make it selling goods on the black market, but not the wisdom to match it. After the death of his mother, he raised his much younger brother Rodney, an easily manipulated sidekick. In 2007, the show was voted Britain’s Best Sitcom.— Josh Jackson
